SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 399,730, dated March 19, 18589.

Application filed December 11, 1888. Serial No. 293,323- (ModeL) To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, EDWIN SMITH BEL- LOWs, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Tips or Leaders for the Neck bands of MadeUp Scarfs; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of this specification.

My invention relates to the combination of a metallic tip or leader with the ends of the neckband of a made-up scarf, by which the entry of the end into and through the knot of the scarf is facilitated.

It has for its object to permit of a secure attachment of the lining of the neckband to the leader independently of the covering or facing material, so as to prevent the working back of the end of the lining within the band and the consequent unsightly and inconvenient enlargement which often occurs above the tip on the neekbands provided with the usual forms of tips or leaders.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is an elevation of the under side of a madeup scarf having my improved tip attached to its neckband. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the tip detached from the band; Fig. 3, a similar view illustrating the manner of separately attaching the lining-strip of the band to the tip; Fig. a, a plan view of the end of the neckband opened out with the lining-strip and tip adjusted thereon in position to be covered thereby; Fig. 5, a similar view show ing the end of the neckband folded in and drawnthrough the slot in the head of the tip for attachment thereto, and Fig. 6 a similar view showing the edges of the neckband folded over upon the head of the tip and attached lining-strip to cover the same.

A represents the improved scarf-tip consisting of a thin metallic plate tapering to a pointed end and preferably curved in its length, as illustrated in Fig. 2. Its widest end is somewhat reduced in width and the edges thereof are made parallel with each other, thereby forming a head adapted to enter the end of the neekband.

Transverse slots are cut in the tip Athe one, D, in the head near its outer end, the

other, B, in the body at the base of the headthat is to say, near to the offsets formed be tween the parallel sides of the wide end of the device and the enlargement thereof into the body proper. Apertures O C are pierced in the head intermediate the transverse slots B and D, to facilitate the attachment of the neckband-lining thereto.

The tip is reduced in weight and rendered more elastic by means of an extended longitudinal opening, A, formed centrally in the body thereof, preferably with its longitudinal edges parallel with those of the body, as shown in Fig. 2.

The end of the lining-strip E for the neckband F is slipped through the outer slot, D, in the tip, and is drawn through it far enough to admit of being made fast by means of stitches passed through the apertures C O. The lining and tip are thus firmly connected. The lining-strip with its attached tip is then adjusted within the open or unfolded neckband, the end of the band being extended under the tip and laterally slitted opposite the offsets thereon, as shown at g 9, Fig. 4, to allow the edges of the band to be folded neatly over upon the head of the tip and the end of the lining secured thereto, as shown in Fig. 6. The underlying edges of the band are also folded inward to form a tongue, H, which, being drawn through the inner slot, 1%,is finally folded back and stitched down,so as to cover and fully conceal the end of the lining and its means of attachment, as shown in Fig. 1. The lining F thus made fast to the leader independently of the band will remain smoothly in place, and will protect the facing of the band from tension in the use of the device.

I claim as my invention-- The tip or leader for the end of a neckband, constructed, substantially as described, of a thin flat plate having converging sides and a parallel-sided head transversely slotted with dual slots B and D and having intermediate perforations, (J, therein, for the purpose set forth.
